Screening apparatus for cold syndrome-positive people
View Patent ↗A screening apparatus for cold syndrome-positive people includes an EIFU temperature measurer having right and left temperature measuring parts; a calculation unit of that calculates a difference value between a right and left EIFU temperatures measured with the right and left temperature measuring parts; an input unit of left/right discomfort to which right discomfort information and left discomfort information on discomfort in a right pharynx region and a left pharynx region perceived by the cold syndrome positive person are input; a calculation unit of left/right discomfort that calculates a degree of coincidence between the right discomfort information and the left discomfort information; an evaluation unit that outputs information of severity based on the calculated difference value and the degree of coincidence; and a reporting unit that notifies severity of the cold syndrome-positive person based on the information of severity.
1 . A screening apparatus for cold syndrome-positive people comprising:
an EIFU temperature measuring means which is a means for measuring a surface temperature of an acupuncture point positioned behind the root of the ear called “EIFU” of a cold syndrome-positive person who has tested positive for a virus in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, and wherein the EIFU temperature measuring means comprises a U-shaped elastic body, a right temperature measuring sensor positioned on a distal end of the U-shape capable of measuring surface temperature of the right EIFU, and a left temperature measuring-sensor positioned on the other distal end of the U-shape capable of measuring surface temperature of the left EIFU;
an input means of left/right discomfort to which right discomfort information on discomfort in a right pharynx region and left discomfort information on discomfort in a left pharynx region perceived by the cold syndrome-positive person are input on a computing device;
a calculation means of EIFU temperature difference that calculates a difference value between a surface temperature of the right EIFU measured with the right temperature measuring-sensor and a surface temperature of the left EIFU measured with the left temperature measuring sensor;
a calculation means of left/right discomfort that calculates a degree of coincidence between the right discomfort information and the left discomfort information input by the input-means of left/right discomfort;
an evaluation means that outputs information of severity of the cold syndrome-positive person based on the difference value calculated in the calculation means of EIFU temperature difference and the degree of coincidence calculated in the calculation means of left/right discomfort; and
a reporting means that notifies the severity of the cold syndrome-positive person based on the information of severity output from the evaluation means, wherein
when the difference value is a first predetermined value or more and the degree of coincidence is low, the evaluation means outputs information of high severity indicating that the severity is high as the information of severity, and the first predetermined value is selected from a range of 0.8 to 12° C.
2 . The screening apparatus for cold syndrome-positive people according to claim 1 , further comprising a calculation means of EIFU average temperature that calculates an average value of the surface temperature of the right EIFU measured with the right temperature measuring sensor and calculates an average value of the surface temperature of the left EIFU measured with the left temperature measuring sensor, wherein
when the difference value is a second predetermined value or more, the degree of coincidence is high, and the average value is a fourth predetermined value or more, or when the difference value is a third predetermined value or more and less than the first predetermined value, the degree of coincidence is low, and the average value is the fourth predetermined value or more, the evaluation unit means outputs information of moderate severity indicating that the severity is moderate as the information of severity, and
the second predetermined value is a value selected from a range of 0.4 to 0.6° C., the third predetermined value is a value selected from a range of 0.2 to 0.3 C, and the fourth predetermined value is a value selected from a range of 34 to 36° C.
